Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

347 Your Order Is About to Be Delivered

In his half-asleep state, Kang De turned around in a daze.

Then he woke up.

He opened his eyes in confusion and looked around. It was dark.

Then, his expression suddenly turned cold and he sat up.

!!

Below him was the real leather cushion of the Hummer.

“Father, don’t be nervous.”

A familiar voice sounded from the car’s stereo.

Kang De shook his head as what had happened appeared in his mind.

No, it was better not to appear.

The psychological pressure accumulated to the limit. Then, it burst out and treated his father as a trash can. He vented a pile of negative emotions and said a pile of messy words. He actually cried. Later on… they came.

That little girl, the mother and daughter, and the others who had been saved.

Starlight filled the city.

Their faces and thank-yous might change tomorrow, but tonight, they were sincerely grateful and did not resent or blame him.

Was this because of simple morals and tolerance, the guidance of the king, or a flash of human kindness… There was no need to investigate the reason and motive inside. From the adults to the children, their expressions were sincere and sincere. They were definitely not against their conscience or forced.

This was enough.

Their kindness and tolerance were natural emotions, or was there a difference between them being guided by education the day after tomorrow?

Kang De slowly rubbed his head.

The siege of Red Maple City had clearly not been resolved, and the matter of Comoros had clearly not ended, but the anxiety, anger, urgency, and ruthlessness in his heart had already dissipated and eased greatly.

…Wait.

Kang De’s expression suddenly changed. “How long did I sleep?”

“About six or seven hours, Father.”

Horus said, “There are no calls, and there’s no flash of light from the quantum signal generator. There’s no battle in the city, no attack. I monitor everything. Father, it’s fine to sleep a little longer.”

Kang De moved his body. “Is it time to sleep? Turn on the light.”

The lights in the car flashed.

Kang De’s mind was still in a mess. He had to figure things out.

When the entire city’s residents arrived on foot under the king’s lead and expressed their gratitude to him, no one could imagine the emotions that surged in him at that time and could not be expressed in words. They called him in the ancient native language and were very respectful. Perhaps the ability he had displayed during the day was too terrifying, causing these natives with slightly ancient concepts to make some association… No, no, that was not the case.

This was because he recalled that under the dim lights, King Chakat II of Comoros was smiling at him, revealing his large white teeth. He was just short of writing the words “I’m leading the rhythm” on his face.

He also saw the Chinese Ambassador to Comoros. The Ambassador held his hand and smiled sincerely and warmly. He said a lot of polite words and looked very excited.

In short, he was surrounded by friendly people and enthusiastic people. There was no accusation, criticism, or darkness. He seemed to have removed a thousand kilograms of burden, then he was physically and mentally exhausted and became more and more sleepy.

Then, he was carried to the car by his father.

It had been a long time since his father carried him, but he could actually carry him.

Then, he slept for six to seven hours.

Ever since it happened, he had slept the longest, most comfortable, and most stable sleep.

After waking up, Kang De could not help but sigh when he thought of all the unresolved matters and new problems that had appeared. He wished he could sleep a little longer as Horus had suggested.

Previously, when he was saving them, his anger attacked his heart and he did not care about anything. He flashed around like a superhuman, extracting flames, shaking the ground, and scattering frost. The Hima Eagle flew wildly in the sky. A small portion of the alchemical skeleton and a large area of arcane wings made even a fool know that something was wrong.

If such a scene was filmed, it could not be explained by natural divine strength.

He recalled the ambassador’s strange gaze and enthusiasm.

There was also his father’s gaze that said, “Don’t let it slip, I lied.”

—So what did Father do?

Kang De fell into deep thought.

In his generation, he had a natural passion for serving his motherland and was not disgusted with cooperation with the government. He did not mind letting the country know that he was different and was willing to do something for the Republic.

The reason why he did not immediately join the country after returning to Earth from Glory Sand was that he had two concerns.

The first was personal freedom.

After joining the country, he would definitely not be cut into pieces. However, as the country’s treasure and strategic figure, the government would definitely want to transform into a 24-hour super nanny to follow him, afraid that he would not be treated properly. There was basically no need to think about traveling overseas. Even if a foreign devil appeared in his life, they had to investigate his ancestors. Therefore, his daily life would definitely be a little inconvenient and potentially dangerous.

The second concern was the other world.

If he told everyone about the matters of the other world, his importance would basically rise to the level of a national weapon that could rest with the country. An entire other world was simply a new continent in the new century. Last time, China had missed the era of navigation. Everyone knew what happened after that. This time, he was unwilling to let go. As long as Kang De dared to say it, the entire national machine would operate with all its might and help him…

The benefits were obvious.

However, there were also disadvantages.

One of the disadvantages was that if he was not secretive and the news was leaked, it would not be a matter of the American Empire sending an assassin to do something dirty. If he was not careful, it would probably become a global war.

The second disadvantage was that Goethe was still in a mess now. Many grudges, internal strife, chaos, and war had not dissipated and been resolved. The hatred of the various races, the disputes of the various countries, the powerful enemy in outer space, and the internal turmoil… Under such circumstances, if the modern civilization of the other world interfered in a powerful manner, it would definitely cause a huge war because of various conflicts and conflicts. The intensity would not be much inferior to the three battles on Earth.

At that time, how many people would die and how many fates would be changed?

For the time being, he did not want things to become so complicated.

Now, he only wanted to quickly resolve the matters on both sides and live a few stable days. He did not want to be pushed by the national machine and the will of the people to connect the two worlds and be involved in a new huge vortex now.

“How troublesome…”

...

How to deal with the next situation? Kang De had a general idea and train of thought. This thought had appeared after saving his father and the king. Now, he had to exchange statements with his father.

“Where’s my father?”

“In a temporary tent not far away, discussing problems and matters with the king and the ambassador. I’ve been paying attention there. There’s no problem… Oh, he’s here.”

The car window rolled down and Kang Jinzhu strode over. He looked at Kang De with a happy expression, “Aren’t you going to sleep a little longer?”

Kang De shook his head and gestured for his father to get into the car.

Father Kang sat in the front passenger seat and looked at his son with a smile. Especially when he saw that the dark clouds accumulated in his son’s eyes had already dissipated, he could not help but smile even happier.

Kang De glared at him and said, “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m happy,” Kang Jinzhu said with a smile. “My son, who thought that his wings had hardened, finally collided with the south wall and cried in his father’s arms. It was a deep father-son communication.”

Kang De said sinisterly, “Do you want me to go to the palace and see if I can find the fragment of your will and restore it with a prophetic spell?”

This operation immediately frightened Kang Jinzhu. He immediately said, “I was wrong. I won’t mention it again.”

Kang De snorted.

...

The reason why Father Kang swallowed his anger like this was not only because he was afraid of his son’s blackmail. Generally speaking, he should repeat his son’s words and cries at that time. Even if this unfilial son could really find that will, at most, they would hurt each other. They would earn enough first… It was originally like this.

However, Kang De’s crying and roaring words could not be a dark history.

He could not bear to repeat it at all.

This was because that was his son.

Every word was soaked in blood and tears.

If he had not heard it from Kang De himself, he could not imagine that such deep and painful memories and experiences were hidden under his son’s laughing and joking appearance.

Superpowers were indeed something that should not appear in the world.

Kang Jinzhu sighed in his heart.

He had thought of this problem when he watched the superhero movie.

A person with rotten morals had obtained superpowers. It was the disaster of the entire world.

If a person with higher morals obtained superpowers, it meant their own pain.

Ordinary people would only be helpless or resigned to their fate when facing injustice, pain, and sorrow. If they had superpowers, it did not mean that things could be perfectly resolved. Sometimes, it only meant choices.

Choices often meant abandonment. Giving up often meant regret.

It meant doubt and self-blame.

In particular, this person’s morals were higher, so the conflict caused by his actions and the outcome of the matter would often exacerbate the bitterness, frustration, and regret in his heart.

Just like his son.

As a father, he hoped that his son was an ordinary person.

He meant it.

The father and son were silent for a moment and looked at each other calmly, not knowing what to say.

A moment later, Kang Jinzhu broke the silence.

“You mentioned before that in the movie Superman: Body of Steel, Superman’s adoptive father would rather die than let Superman expose his ability. You said that this was a stupid plot. The director and screenwriter did not handle it well and messed around. I rejected these words at that time, and it’s the same now.”

His father sighed softly, “I completely understand Superman’s adoptive father’s choice and decision… This is a f*cking and rotten world. No father wants his son to face it head-on.”

“I still insist on my point of view now.” Kang De did not hesitate at all, “That plot is really stupid.”

Kang Jinzhu sighed and wanted to say more.

Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “What else can you be stubborn about now? I have superpowers, and Superman has superpowers. We’re the same kind of people, so I can understand him. No one understands Superman better than me!”

Father Kang was unconvinced. “I raised a superpower son, and Jonathan Kent also raised a superpower son. No one knows Superman’s father better than me, so I understand his mood. Is that wrong?”

Kang De said proudly, “What’s the use of saying this now? It’s just like how Superman kicked the car into an atomic state and pulled his father back from the tornado. Can his father continue to court death? I’ve already saved you. Don’t you want to live? If you don’t want to live, write your will again. I’ll read it three times every year in front of the entire family.”

“Pfft!”

Father Kang glared at him and finally shook his head helplessly.

“That’s true. At this point, there’s nothing we can do… You caused too much commotion in the day and can’t hide it at all. I discussed it with the king and made up an explanation to temporarily fool the country.”

Kang De asked, “What?”

“Before that, let me ask you first—where did you get that eagle, big copper ball, and so on? I heard from those Burmese that you can make some new tricks for me every time.”

Kang Jinzhu said seriously, “Could it be that those things were really found in the king’s mausoleum?”

Kang De shook his head and said, “Of course not.”

The alchemist of the elves, the ancient king of Comoros, had nothing to do with it.

Kang Jinzhu frowned and said, “That’s really a coincidence. From the shape and patterns, those fancy things of yours are extremely similar to the treasure dug out by the French from the king’s mausoleum. There’s room for discussion.”

Kang De raised his eyebrows and said, “What do you mean?”

“I told the country that the amulet I brought you back last year was actually an ancient strange object that had been shone on by Comoros. You accidentally dripped blood on it or something. In any case, you were chosen and obtained superpowers. That’s why you could jump all the way here from China.”

“You killed your way to the king’s mausoleum and searched for my whereabouts. Although you didn’t find me, the inheritance from the talisman activated and resonated with the power of the king’s mausoleum, giving you new strength. For example, that eagle, that large copper ball. In any case, it’s extremely similar in style to the treasure dug out by the French from the king’s mausoleum.”

“Especially that eagle. It can be related to the national myth of Comoros. Then tell me. In any case, there’s no evidence in the dead. It’s all thanks to the king’s mouth. He has the final right to explain.”

“This way, we can explain your secret ability. Even if the news leaks, the relevant people and national authorities will pull this line to the bottom and fight everywhere in the ancient tombs of their respective countries… D*mn, my excuse can actually advance the archeology industry.”

Kang De was dumbfounded.

“You’ve indeed read too many online novels…”

However, this explanation was not bad.

Kang Jinzhu continued, “In short, let’s go over to the country like this for the time being. With the king coming to collude with us, it’s very convincing. We can work with him.”

“After all, according to the explanation, your superpower came from their ancestor. In other words, you, who inherited the ancient inheritance of Comoros, have an obligation to protect this country. In that case, you can naturally stay here for a period of time to do your unknown evil scheme. In that case, it can also let you temporarily stay away from the center of the storm…”

Central of the storm?

Kang De asked curiously, “What do you mean?”

Kang Jinzhu glanced at his son and said indifferently, “You’re not the only one.”

Kang De tilted his head. “…Hmm?”

“I say, you’re not the only one with superpowers in this world,” Kang Jinzhu said calmly. “I spoke to that lord whose name I can’t say. He’s not surprised by your matter. He’s only a little surprised to hear that your strength comes from the Comoros Tomb. This means that something happened in the world before we knew it and was covered up by the national authorities. On this planet, humans might not be lonely.”

Kang De nodded and said, “Oh.”

Kang Jinzhu pretended deeply and calmly told him such a huge matter. He thought that he would scare his son. He did not expect Kang De to be so calm and was a little unhappy.

“You don’t seem to find it strange at all?”

“There’s nothing strange.”

Kang De gave his father a thumbs up. “Not long ago, I exorcised a female ghost in the Huaxing Garden and even avenged her.”

“…Huaxing Garden?”

“Yes, it’s that Huaxing Garden.”

Kang De said seriously, “To be honest, I can fight much better than you think. Do you want to tell the country that I plan to release a function app recently called ‘Ghostbusters’? The various countries are welcome to place an order.”

“Go, go, go. Don’t you think there’s enough to do?” Kang Jinzhu said impatiently. “You told me earlier that you wanted to open a company here. I discussed it with the king…”

At this moment, Kang De’s phone buzzed.

Kang De took it out and looked at it. It was a satellite phone. It was the number of the Russian.

“Oh, the goods are here.”

Kang De picked up the call. “Hello? Kirov?”

“Holy Mother of God! What have you done?!” The Russian shouted, “Even the person from GRU called me! I knew this would happen, but it’s too early!”

“…”

Kang De looked subtle. “So, you’re under arrest? Do you want me to save you?”

“No! It’s to pick me up!” the Russian shouted. “We’re about to reach Comoros!”

…
